QUINCY, Mass. - June 20, 2019 - PRLog -- Speaking before an audience of about 50 people at the Rotary Club of Quincy, Michael J. McKenna, Founder and CEO of  Comprehensive Benefit Administrators (http://cbacompanies.com), a company combining traditional brokerage services with specialty services including advocacy, claims administration, benefits expertise, and compliance, outlined several measures businesses might consider to mitigate the spiraling costs of healthcare.

McKenna, who has authored numerous articles and opinion pieces on the topic, touched on a number of cost-trimming avenues, including introduction of comparative prescription drug plans to allow employees and dependents access to prescription drugs through the employer plan, prescription manufacturer, private or government sponsored assistance programs.

He also proposed that employers embrace a mandated second opinion program separate from insurance, as studies have shown an absolute return on investment for consumers seeking independent second opinions for serious ailments.

Telemedicine is another tactic that could be utilized to lower costs, said McKenna, noting that according to the American Medical Association, an estimated 70% of emergency room, urgent care and primary care visits are unnecessary and can be handled via telemedicine.
